Jon B says that Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson

[Shadow King]

Chris Brown himself would say that he’s nowhere near on the same level as MJ.

As he's supposed to.

 

[Shadow King]

I've noticed the last few years that a lot of industry folks believe that Chris has paid his dues for the Rhianna thing and think he should be forgiven (i.e. accolades, reward shows, etc). That cancellation of the MJ tribute Chris was going to do was the last straw. Every current R&B songstress has a song with him, vets like Tank, Jon B. Kelly Rowland and Ciara defend him. I think they are (wrongly) trying to over correct the perceived injustice Chris has been going through by outright saying he's better than MJ.

Nobody said he's outright better...

Chris has a deeper bag when it comes to dancing

Backflips

Catalogue? Can you honestly say that he has a better catalogue than Usher? I still argue that C.Browns catalogue barely contends with Ginuwine's.

2nd best performer? Are ya'll that impressed with some backflips?

Just off the top here are MUCH better performers:

• OG performers
  • Chuck Berry
  • James Brown
  • Michael Jackson
  • Usher (honarable mention)
• Actual musician and singers
  • Stevie
  • Little Richard
  • Ray Charles
  • Prince
  • Hendrix

Aint nothing legendary about a Breezy concert, other than taking pictures with a bunch of birds

Chris brown total catalogue is better than ushers bu td o

Nobody said he's outright better...

Tank said he was better numerous times. Joe Budden had his crew say it all the time.

Oh you trout mouth nikkas rage baiting something serious in here
Thecoli musical takes are like listening to a deaf man order coffee

Name a “Chris Brown” move. Thats all that needs to be said.

Not having a signature move doesn’t mean his bag isn’t deeper than MJs. Chris can lock into to different elements of dance such as bboying and acrobatics as well. I don’t recall MJ doing any of that. When I say his bag is deeper, I’m talking about the versatility. That’s why I said I can see why the comparison exists.

Cac babble

Michael Jackson would show up at someone’s funeral and people wouldn’t even care about the person in the casket anymore - that person would also be famous.

If you can't have an unbiased conversation, we could just stop this conversation now, but I actually like every artist you mentioned so I can have an unbiased conversation I'm sorry, but usher isn't a better performer than Chris Brown. Chris Brown is a better dancer and has better stage presence and energy Chris Brown total catalogue is better than ushers but usher do got the best album between the two (confessions) ..Chuck Berry is the king of rock 'n' roll but Chris Brown is definitely a better performer than Chuck Berry due to the culture advancing and dance will be more complex compared to the 50s and Stevie Wonder is my R&B goat. He is a better overall artist than Chris Brown but as a performer, Ray Charles is a better artist than Chris Brown and his musically better but strictly as a performer, Chris Brown is better that's why I said total package

 

[god shamgod]

don’t get me wrong Chris brown a talented mf

His mj performance at the bet awards was dope and outside mj impersonators nobody arguably can do that. The crying during man in the mirror was fake imo. That was a year after he lumped Rihanna up but he still killed that performance until that part

chris dont have a thriller.. let alone ben music n me ..hell a off the wall...

n he cant see hammer

Peak for peak Strictly as a performer him and hammer might be even But I will give the edge to Chris hammer is the most underrated performer of all time

 

[bigde09]

Mike after Bad started harmonizing more than outright sing too.

Does Chris make better music than Mike, absolutely not.

Can Chris do certain things better than Mike…

Yes

 

[TMBlue]

he a better rapper

MJ can draw better.

 

[Supa]

So Michael is getting extra credit for being first, not necessarily better...

I literally said he didn't invent the moonwalk or robot so that means he wasn't first.

MJ is better and you know this because when @spliz posted some MJ songs you didn't reply to him with any Chris Brown songs.

You think Chris is better than prove it. Post the songs you think are so great.

You literally saying that emphasized my point. You acknowledge he didn't invent dance moves, same as Chris, but "there was no one like Michael before Michael". You're giving him credit for being first to capture the imagination, not necessarily be better at dancing.

I already spoke to why I didn't entertain him, but y'all keep using catalogue in the "more talented" argument when catalogue is more than talent. Y'all are acting like MJ is One Man Band Man.
